Grand Haven, Day 3

Day 3 found us sleeping in again!  Well, sleeping in for us anyway.  I got up and made everyone my famous pancakes.  My family likes them with no fruit, so I made theirs plain and mind with bananas. Yum!

We threw on our suits and headed back to the beach!  First order of business, sand castles.

Next, fun in the water with Daddy while Mommy read a magazine!  Awww, so nice!

More sand castle building, kite flying, and water play followed.  It was very windy this day, so we could go far out in the water.  It was still fun though.

Around noon we decided to pack up and head home for lunch.  Only we could resist the urge to stop at Butch's Beach Burritos.  So, we pulled in and left with 2 burritos and 2 tacos.

Oh goodness! They are so good!  We will be going back.

Naps and relaxations followed for all of us.

Dinner was going to be hamburgers on the grill, but I forgot to put out the meat before naps, so we headed to the Kirby Grill on Washington.

We were able to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful breeze.

We had Bacon Cheddar Burger (her), French Dip (him), Pizza (kids). It was all very good.

After, the pier was calling our name so headed to the North Side this night.  On the recommendation of a friend we decided to stop at Temptations for some homemade ice cream.

Flavors chosen were:

Orange Sherbet:   Rob, Blake
Black Cherry: Andrea
Blue (something): Ava

 Halfway through the cones the kids decided that they liked the others flavor better, so they switched.

So, so, so, so good!  You have to stop here for ice cream. Have. to. stop.

Feeling very full we decided to walk along the pier.  A nice guy took a family photo for us.

At this point it had been a long day so we decided to head home.

Vacation Days One and Two.
